Ep 20 – Green Talks with Panchtatwa Girl Ft. Tulika Suneja from Green Hands

To increase public participation to curb the use of single-use plastic (SUP), the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) has launched a mobile application for the public, recently. After downloading the application ‘SUP-CPCB’, people may lodge a complaint against those using, selling, and manufacturing SUP. Now that’s interesting and a good initiative. Ministry of Environment Forest and Climate Change (MoEF&CC) has imposed a blanket ban on single-use plastic country-wide. Plastic items like earbuds, balloons, candy, ice-cream sticks, cutlery items like plates, cups, glasses, forks, spoons, knives, trays packaging or wrapping films like sweet boxes, invitation cards, cigarette packets, plastic flags, PVC banners of below 100 microns, etc. are soon going to be banned. It will be so wonderful to see steel crockery back in fashion and replacing #singleuseplastic.

It’s pretty amazing that our society has reached a point where the effort necessary to extract oil from the ground, ship it to a refinery, turn it into plastic, shape it appropriately, truck it to a store, buy it and bring it home, is considered to be less effort than what it takes to just wash the spoon when you’re done with it. So we all know how single-use plastic is posing problems to our planet. And the maximum is used in parties, picnics, and get-togethers. I sometimes wonder when single-use or disposable plastic was not in use were we not having parties or get-togethers? Then why so much single-use plastic is in use? Just because we are lazy to wash?
